A 38-year-old Russellville woman was arrested Saturday for allegedly cutting her boyfriend with a hatchet. Police responded to a Russellville residence Saturday afternoon on a disturbance and found a 42-year-old man bleeding from the head and shoulder, according to a police report.

The man reportedly said he and his girlfriend, who is five months pregnant, began arguing about a dog in the back yard. She allegedly hit him over the head with a glass ash tray, then reportedly bit him and struck him in the shoulder with a hatchet.

Police located the woman inside the residence, who allegedly provided four false identifications. Police arrested the suspect and transported her to the Pope County Detention Center, where she is being held on $15,000 bond.

Store vandalized

The convenience store in Appleton was vandalized early Wednesday morning, accoring to a county police report. County deputies responded to a burglary alarm at the store at 2:34 a.m. and arrived to find a window by the front door shattered.

Two rocks were found inside the store, which deputies reported they believed were thrown through the window. The owner reported nothing stolen.

Shooting report

An Atkins man reported Tuesday that his ex-wife shot him with a pistol, according to a Pope County Sheriff's Office report. Doctors told officers later, however, that the man had not been shot.

The 53-year-old man claimed his ex-wife, a 39-year-old Russellville woman, asked him to pick her up at a residence. He stated in the report that when he arrived, her current husband "came outside and started acting crazy."

The ex-wife then picked up a small-caliber pistol and shot him in the stomach, finger and elbow, the man told officers. He was unable to describe to officers where the shooting allegedly occurred.

He drove to his home in Atkins after the alleged shooting, where he called 911. Emergency personnel transported him to Saint Mary's Regional Medical Center, where doctors reported that he had suffered no gunshot wounds.

Doctors did say, however, that the man had a burn on each side of his stomach and a small cut on his finger.

The police report also stated that officers believed the alleged victim was intoxicated.
